Magneto-active elastic shells with tunable buckling strength
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Matteo Pezzulla, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi
Shell buckling is central in many biological structures and advanced functional materials, even if, traditionally, this elastic instability has been regarded as a catastrophic phenomenon to be avoided for engineering structures. Either way, predicting crit ...
2021Spalling of concrete cover induced by reinforcement
Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia
This paper investigates the phenomenon of cover spalling in reinforced concrete induced by bond or by the action of an inner pressure. This research is based on an experimental programme comprising a series of bond tests and a series of tests with inner-pr ...
2021The concept of the mobilized domain: how it can explain and predict the forces exerted by a cohesive granular avalanche on an obstacle.
Christophe Ancey, Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Betty Sovilla, Michael Lukas Kyburz
The calculation of the impact pressure on obstacles in granular flows is a fundamental issue of practical relevance, e.g. for snow avalanches impacting obstacles. Previous research shows that the load on the obstacle builds up, due to the formation of forc ...
2021First observation of spalling in tantalum at high temperatures induced by high energy proton beam impacts
Elvis Fornasiere, Marco Calviani
Spalling in tantalum has been observed in an experiment aiming at testing an antiproton production target prototype at CERN’s HiRadMat Facility. The experiment consisted in impacting 47 intense and high-energy proton beams onto a target equipped with ten c ...
2020Nondestructive Prediction of the Buckling Load of Imperfect Shells
Tobias Schneider, Emmanuel Georges Albert Virot, Emilio José Lozano Vazquez
From soda cans to space rockets, thin-walled cylindrical shells are abundant, offering exceptional load carrying capacity at relatively low weight. However, the actual load at which any shell buckles and collapses is very sensitive to imperceptible defects ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2020In situ control of the helical and skyrmion phases in Cu2OSeO3 using high-pressure helium gas up to 5 kbar
Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Jonathan White
We report a small-angle neutron scattering study of the helical and skyrmion lattice order in single-crystal Cu2OSeO3 under quasihydrostatic helium gas pressures up to 5 kbar. By using helium gas as the pressure-transmitting medium (PTM) we ensure pressure ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2020Design and Thermal-Structural Analyses of Ancillary Components for the Optical Steering Mirror (M4) for the ITER ECH Upper Launcher
Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni
Each of the four ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating Upper Launcher (ECHUL) features eight transmission lines (TLs) that are used to inject 170-GHz microwave power into the plasma at a level of up to 1.31 MW (at the TL diamond window) per line. The millimeter ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020Environmental degradation of fracture resistance in high-temperature water environments of low-alloy reactor pressure vessel steels with high sulphur or phosphorus contents
Philippe Spätig, Hans-Peter Seifert, Zaiqing Que
The fracture behaviour of low-alloy reactor pressure vessel steels with various sulphur and phosphorus contents, different environmentally-assisted cracking (EAC) and temper embrittlement (TE) susceptibilities was evaluated by elastic plastic fracture mech ...
2019Effect of dynamic strain ageing on environmental degradation of fracture resistance of low-alloy RPV steels in high-temperature water environments
Philippe Spätig, Hans-Peter Seifert, Zaiqing Que
Elastic plastic fracture mechanics tests on different low-alloy reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels in air and various simulated light water reactor environments revealed a clear, but moderate reduction of the fracture initiation resistance of RPV steels ...
2019Mechanics of a pressure-controlled adhesive membrane for soft robotic gripping on curved surfaces
Jamie Paik, Metin Sitti, Sukho Song
This paper aims at understanding the adhesion mechanics of a pressure-controlled adhesive thin elastomeric membrane for soft robotic gripping on non-planar, curved surfaces. The adhesive elastic membrane is lined with gecko-inspired microfiber arrays and c ...
